🦋 Tin-can Cello: scale drawing/dimensions -- revision

A little bit of redesign that will make the neck cheaper, easier to build and more elegant -- all along I have been picturing the neck as running under the fingerboard up to the point where it hits the washtub. But it makes much more sense for the neck to come away from the fingerboard, similar to a traditional cello, with the fingerboard unsupported the lower half of its length.

This saves me some width for the neck blank, along with a good deal of thickness, and means there will be much less material to remove when I'm truing up the heel. The neck will also be stronger because there is more material in line with the dowel.

Only thing is, that sort of elbow in the middle may not bear the tension of the strings. I need to make more of a smooth curve there.
